RU-452 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Moscow Sheremetyevo (Russia), was climbing out of Amsterdam when the crew requested to stop the climb at FL200 to troubleshoot a problem. The crew subsequently requested to enter a hold advising they had a gear signal. The aircraft turned around towards Amsterdam and descended, the crew subsequently advised they were ready for the approach, no need to enter the hold, and landed safely on Amsterdam's runway 18R about 50 minutes after departure.
The aircraft is still on the ground in Amsterdam about 19.5 hours after landing back.
